And then yet again
after I was certain
that I’d gone somewhere
else down a different
path and through a
different thicket and past
unfamiliar brambles and a
grove of wispy willowy
trees in a clearing
and overlooking a river
sits the same dark
wooden bench ebony I
think and very strong
I sat to rest
and felt comfortable there
supported protected and warm
and while I knew
that I was somewhere
new this particular bench
continued to appear and
I knew then that
wherever I go you
my friend will be
always with me too

YupOver
And just like that
it was over friends
who are friendly when
I make them laugh
are the first ones
to take flight when
I don’t there are
very few things in
this world that are
just one thing and
people definitely aren’t that
it’s really kinda sad
Grand(er)(est) (for Jaime)
There’s a stark difference
between career and vocation
A career is what
you’d like to be
whereas a vocation is
what you were meant
to be the hard
part isn’t in the
achieving or even the
success the hard part
is the admitting oh
you can spend your
entire life dodging and
ducking swerving and skidding
but what is meant
to be will always
be I caution you
to stop your suffering
and just give in
for just like dying
you have to trust
that there’s something grander
Missing
This is absolutely horrible
horrible I tell you
Tell me how does
one describe what’s missing
when what’s missing is
well uhm gee missing
In order to describe
anything it must be
or must be able
to be or be
imagined but how does
one describe what’s missing
when what’s missing will
no longer ever be
…Ground
There is well was
a place for you
here next to me
in the bed which
I have on occasion
filled it’s higher than
my side since you
are were smaller but
it’s not even that
I simply don’t like
the view of downtown
and the mountains from
over there because from
over here I had
you to look at
before I ever saw
them you being my
fore and they back
